me too..

My light is also on forever, every one keeps telling me to goto the stealer and get it checked and pay ridiculous price for it.

I'll keep looking in our forum to see if i can't crack the problem.

You can't really read from the forum to see what is wrong with your ABS. It's like a CEL--there could be numerous things wrong with it.

But the most common are the sensors. Unfortunately, you will need to pull the code to see which one(s) it is. To do that, you need an ABS code reader. Which the dealership has. Maybe call around to some local indy mechanics to see if they have one, too. People have posted that their dealerships charged them ~$70 for the reading.

Checkers and autozone will pull codes for free.

CEL codes, yes, but not ABS codes. Only the dealerships and few other places will pull the codes. Haven't found a place that will do it for free yet.

I think I read somewhere that this light comes on if you are below a certain level of brake fluid in the reservoir. Anyway it's worth a check.

my abs light comes on ONLY when I put my lights on. I think it has to do with me changing my rear light bulbs to led bulbs. anyone else experience this?

I got it checked today and it was a code 33 ...not sure what it means but i got it fixed! He said that I had a speed sensor that might need to be changed on the rear passenger side?
Thanks for the replies!!!
